SubscribeLanguage fun with Crocodile Listens and the chant books
Sunday, December 14th, 2008This amazing teacher worked with her students to put together a Thanksgiving-appropriate story using the structure of Crocodile Listens. See what happens when turkey listens!
They also created a turkey chant using the chant books as a structural element. Mrs Schwartz is clearly an extraordinary teacher.
-
- These are actually breeds of turkeys, apparently.
-
- The students map out sounds a turkey might hear
-
- They set the story when the pilgrims arrived!
-
- They imagine what the turkey heard!
-
- Onomatopoeia comes into play.
-
- Creating the stories touches many kinds of descriptive writing.
-
- This writing is early elementary. Wow!
